My bad, since I reported it a few hours ago, and opened the catalog just now and didn't see it there.

Have a crow for your collection for the trouble.

chrow its time for the annual image collection reports and several anon's are late including yourself. If you could update us on the depth and variety of your crow image collection it would be appreciated (other anon's can confirm for their own collections pls). I hate to be a pain about it but you know if its not done by next next thursday that the big office is gonna get their panties in a twist about it and we'll have to to a teleconference and remedial shitposting until the numbers come up.

Thanks Chrow, you're the best.

Maybe you should consider accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior?

>>422538

Not nihilist-kun but I really wish I could

>but I just don't believe

Maybe its sad but its true, if I want to let Yahwah in (and his retarded boyo) it means I have to read those books ,and pardon but those books read like they were majority wrote by jews (just a little over 50% of the nt the ot of course being 100%).

And I'm okay with jesus the man, he seemed okay but when he talks about his father I just can't stop imaging a fat jew. To be fair jesus said lots of people (even people who gave lip service, easier for a camel to pass thru the eye of needle and all that) are going to hell.

So there you go, you don't choose your believes generally (your gut reactions, your biases ) even if you want to do the actions, jesus probably won't accept you. So you might as well go back to what your ancestors were doing before this christian shit took over (whatever that is). I think we need local gods for local problems, not jewish gods because of jewish problems.

PEEK LARPAGAN but no really though, Jesus would accept you if you'd accept him.

>>422542

>I think we need local gods for local problems, not jewish gods because of jewish problems.

Sin is not a "jewish problem"; it's a problem for all mankind, born from the curse of Adam. No man but one has ever been born without sin. That's the whole point of the Old Testament in canon - not a collection of great heroes to be revered, but a collection of tragedies to be reflected upon.

>even if you want to do the actions, jesus probably won't accept you

Your greatest works won't build a bridge to God. The Grace of Christ isn't a trade of favors, it's given freely in its entirety; not to one man, or to a group of men, but to all men - including you, Anon.

>>42255

I wasn't going for sin being a jewish problem (the jewish problem being the religion itself not sin). But if you want to look at it methodically sin is more of the human conditioning stand in then anything. There's a reason why people who think sin is a terrible concept also don't understand how Christianity basically became the basis for universal human rights.

And you're right, the grace of Christ isn't a trade of favours. That actually makes it worst, unless you genuinely believe in it (and I don't) and act accordingly (and the vast vast majority won't, that camel bit is saying that being rich/moderately well off is enough to prevent a genuine following of the bible) you're gonna die. Now you can pretend and hope god doesn't notice (less the handful of actual saints and brain damaged among you).

But to think about it this way, Humanity is supposed to die. It's not a strange thing, its not a thing to be avoided forever. Good deaths are planned for, shared and remembered. Even if god can do what you say, its a bit like putting a book into a library after a first reading (presumably after blacking out some of the saucier bits by a somewhat prudish librarian). It ain't the same the 2nd time around.

>>422553

You're right. It is larping a little. I really don't believe in a supernatural god, that said. Men without religion tend to turn to shit. I don't mind Christianity and it has certainly accomplished a lot but currently its full of jews, atheists and fags and has accomplished nothing of note going on a century (except maybe sucking Mohammad off and enabling pedophiles). Show me a Christianity that is half as preoccupied with assisting those white tribes it forcibly converted instead of adding niggers to its ranks and I would consider larping with them.

>>422566

because it enabled faggots and pedophiles anon.

>>422568

You seem a bit open hearted if I say so myself. Would you be open to praying to god for proof he exists?

>>422571

But anon, it's a book about how shit the jews are.

Gives their history, their laws, and then calls them hypocrites and spawns of satan. It is a rebuttal of the chosenites chosenisity. I can't emphasize enough that how God's own self insert says they are a shit.

A pastor in training I met chuckled, citing some quote from a book he just read. Heavily paraphrased, "all their blessing and they still turn from god, and so their blessings become curses."

It contains jews, yes. Just as a bestiary contains beasts.

>>422559

>positive thinking, right actions and living, and the exercising of temperance

Sorry if I misunderstand it but isn't it more about completely giving up? Giving up all desire and all will and all thought so that you can give up your existence.

>>422568

>assisting those white tribes

Depends on what your mean by that. If you mean "helping those in need", then most organizations that help the poor, the old and others that can't help themselves are christian based.

>>422579

>>422571

That and the fact that "jews" is a bit misleading. Today's jews are the ones that didn't become Christians int the early days of christendom, unlike many of their ancestors' brothers.

>>422568

>But if you want to look at it methodically sin is more of the human conditioning stand in then anything

That's a poor and honestly simplistic way to look at it. Sin isn't the human condition, but a perversion of the human condition. Though not strictly biblical, it's helpful to use the "seven deadly sins" of Catholicism as a good way to explain this:

1. Humans require food and water to remain alive. Gluttony as a sin is a perversion of this - consumption which exceeds what one needs, be it in terms of sheer quantity or even quality/method of manufacture (i.e. foie gras).

2. Humans need to sleep and rest to remain functional, and are obligated to some degree of work to fulfill their own basic needs and those of their family. Sloth is ignoring one's obligations, and taking rest in excess of what is needed.

3. Humans need to reproduce, which requires sex. Sex itself is the joining of two bodies, which strengthens the bonds between a married couple. Lust is a perversion of this - sex for the aim of personal pleasure, and nothing else.

4. Humans should feel anger at that which is evil, and take action to correct it. Wrath is taking disproportionate retribution, and feeling anger not just against that which is truly evil, but also that which one simply does not like.

5. Humans should feel a desire to have what is needed for themselves and for their loved ones. Greed - like gluttony - is the desire for more; accumulation for the sake of accumulation, having just for the sake of having, hoarding away one's excess rather than using it to help others.

6. Humans should feel a desire to have what is owed to them; be it wages paid for work, the honoring of a contract, or so forth. Envy is another case of more - wanting more than one is owed, feeling that one is owed when one is not, and desiring that which belongs to others, or hating them for it.

7. Humans should make rightful appraisals of their own activities, and those of others; a healthy level of pride may be had from a father for his successful son, or a man for his homeland. But pride/hubris, as a sin, is a different matter. It's being boastful. It's making dishonest appraisals. It's putting oneself on the center stage, rather than attributing everything to God. It's looking down on others, often for things they had no control over.

The "human condition" is brought up a lot for sin, but that's merely a justification to say, "Look, we're like this, therefore we should be like this." That's the voice of the original sin, whispering, saying, "It's not your fault, God made you like this, so just go ahead and do what you want." Ultimately, every person slips up - some more than others. Christ's sacrifice means that in this same fashion, everyone has been offered a chance for salvation from this.

>that camel bit is saying that being rich/moderately well off is enough to prevent a genuine following of the bible

That's not what the text states at all. The lesson isn't about wealthiness, but rather about willingness. The rich man comes to Christ, and asks him the method which leads to Heaven. Christ tells him that if he's willing to put everything aside and follow him, then that is the way. The man, disheartened, packs up his stuff and leaves. But the point isn't that a rich man can't go to heaven. Rather, it's a lesson about the nature of grace.

In the story, the rich man, who could buy near anything he wanted, approached Christ with what was effectively a desire to buy his way into Heaven. But Heaven isn't something that can be bought, with all of the wealth in this world - it's something that can only be freely given. If the rich man was willing to set aside everything and follow, it's not that he would be buying his way in - it's that he would set everything aside, put himself squarely in the hands of God, and have a chance to grow the faith he was lacking. But you can still be faithful and financially stable - it's a matter of how you use those finances. If you're using your money to put your name on buildings, hosting massive dinner parties, and getting hookers and blow, you're on the wrong track. If you're maintaining moderation at home, taking care of your family, and anonymously contributing to organizations, then you're acting as an instrument of God's will.

>>422569

Anon, I am going to let you in on something. Everything is larping. Your job? Larping, Your government? Larping Gender? Larping (especially according to the leftists) Being good or bad or anything in between? Larping. It's why everyone with a shady job history gets the fucking stink eye because its basically announcing that "I Larp Badly" and when everything is a larp that's a big fucking deal. I larp as middle management stink eye who mildly bucks the system and is popular the workers. People can't figure out that you play your roll (despite being told it repeatedly, Fake it til you make, dress for the job you want not the one you have ,etc) and have a hard time as a result.

>>422571

This. I really think it's peaked and probably been in a downward spiral since luther split and in a super downward spiral as the faggots who got absorbed to make up for people just plain leaving an increasingly less powerful church started diddling the children. I mean a thousand year + reign ain't bad but its a real sin that the place that gave us Notre Dame is also the place that invited in sandniggers to burn it down.

>>422574

ahh no, Like I said I don't believe in supernatural dieties. Having a lucky streak won't change this (and honestly it wouldn't be much of a 'belief' if it is changed by a few observation biases or lucky outcomes).

>>422580

this is true but didn't answer my question. Yes most of those organizations are chrsitian but are those organizations helping everyday white folk or is most of that money being siphoned off to support queers and niggers? Salvation army is okay in my book but that's about as far I get before I refuse to support them anymore.

>>422584

But anon, our construction is not our fault, and god did make everything like this. I am not saying do whatever you want (infact most of the church's good has been curtailing that) but they've chopped off too much. The current 'be meek, be mild' won't make you a better person, a more salvation worthy person. Somewhere the virtue of the sword (which Jesus was at least a little big on) got lost and I don't see it coming back anytime soon. As for the camel bit, I am not sure what part of put everything aside you're missing. Your wealth at the very least although you can argue that you are supposed to have a greater bond in the lord then your own family which I can't stand up for. I think your dismissing some of the argument here and if pressed you would resort to 'that's my faith' which is admirable but not convincing for others who don't share that faith. You seem alright anon I would treat you to a horn of mead and I would maybe even help you raise a church but for he life of me I can't see a reason to step inside it.

>>422569

>>422610

>The current 'be meek, be mild' won't make you a better person, a more salvation worthy person.

That's a poor assessment of what is actually taught. The point is that you're supposed to lay everything before Christ, and that for a strong person who can take care of themselves, this becomes far more difficult than for a meek, helpless person. It's a message to those who are suffering - that Christ still loves you, and that no matter how terrible things become in this world, a better one awaits you after death. As an addendum to that, it's a point in scripture that the Church, though one body, has many members - just as some are called to disciple rather than being discipled to, there are those called to be soldiers, or statesmen, or wherever else God calls them to be.

>As for the camel bit, I am not sure what part of put everything aside you're missing.

I'm not missing anything, I'm giving an interpretation of the reading. See pic related. You're attempting to present scripture using a translation of a transcription, without considering the historical context. Literalist interpretations of scripture are a cancer, and you'll be hard pressed to find anyone save a few non-denominational weirdos who got booted out of seminary who advocate for it.

>I think your dismissing some of the argument here and if pressed you would resort to 'that's my faith'

You would be surprised. I'll admit, I'm not called to be a missionary - I don't know the words to convert people. But as for speaking on matters of faith, I've had a lot of time to piece those things together.

>But anon, our construction is not our fault, and god did make everything like this.

Sin is something that humanity brought upon itself, through free will. You can argue that God allowing humans to have free will itself lays the responsibility on him - and that is a point where we start getting into murky territory.

>>422622

>don't be strong

>if you kill your enemies they win

>muh oppressed

If you are giving an interpretation then I am as well, the whole translation bit falls flat during the best of times, muh historical context, Interpretations, Interpretations, Interpretations.

You're right I would be hard pressed to find more then a few wierdos who don't take a stance similar to yours. But that stance is pretty jewish and full of jewish tricks. Those people who are willing to give up wealth and family and a lot of things at the very least can't be called hypocrits.

>sin is something that humanity brought upon itself.

If god didn't want it to happen, it wouldn't have happened anon. So you're left with two prongs, either he did want it to happen (god did make everything like this) or that sin is intrinsic to humans (this is the sin as human condition stand in that I mentioned earlier, sinning is human, dying is human and if the after life has no sinning or dying then it has no humans in it).

You tried and I respect you for that but really, enough of these jewish games. If its the word of god it must surely persist thru human interpretation (all human interpretation) or else the word of god would lead people astray. I can't beleive that the way that you interpret god. Historical Context, Interpretation and christ is love are those jewish tricks I was talking about. Either it's divine or its not, either it inspires or it does not. I surposed the first jewish trick was the son of god, fully human and fully divine. That would be a miracle to trump all others but its mostly a footnote to goddamn fishes and washing the feet of prostitutes.

Such is life, Really I want to believe in something better but how this literary device is supposed to inspire anyone is beyond me.

>>422636

Arguing over semantics is the lowest form of arguments, barely above statistics. I am not interested in a historical appraisal of all the reasons why his arguement is very appealing out of all the popular interpretations of it. Metatextual (as apposed to literal) interpretation doesn't do him any favours. Even if they did its a bit like saying that 4 out of 5 rabbi's (or dentists if you need a more secular example) agree with him. But hey that's modern christianity in a nutshell, I would like to be inspired and he's talking about why back in the day that track doesn't really mean what you might think it means if you read it honestly and frankly. Either god wrote a damn fine poem (or instructed his guys to do so ) or he didn't, no amount of nattering about what happened back in the day will change it. I wouldn't talk this way about beowolf, why would I about the bible?

But hey you got me, This is me running away to do just about anything to avoid learning about what jews did two millennia ago. You've won, you're a winner and surely your lord is too. Now go do something about those bastards that are burning down your cathedrals and maybe we'll talk again.

>>422631

>>if you kill your enemies they win

I don't think you read what I wrote at all. Or the attached post from another anon. See also pic related, another comment on a similar topic.

>Either it's divine or its not, either it inspires or it does not.

This one's easy: One body, many parts. Illiterate dirt farmers cannot be expected to understand scripture, and it's fallacious to assume that the descendants of those dirt farmers can simply because they acquired literacy. In the time of Jesus, the Pharisees were the ones who did this; his criticism of them rested in large part on how they bent the Word to their own benefits, and how they hated him and deemed him a false Messiah because he contradicted it. In physical terms, this separation was represented by the Veil in the Tabernacle. With the sacrifice of Christ, the Veil was torn, marking the point at which all men - through following Christ - could find salvation. But that does not mean all men were inherently given the tools to do so. Some are called to interpret, and put the scripture into words their brothers can understand. Others are called to disciple, spreading this word in their own communities. And others still are called as missionaries, to make disciples of all nations. Besides these, you have those who are called to do more than learn, to pass what they know in their own families, and to be good witnesses in their own lives. Along these lines, you have many levels, and many mechanisms.

>sin/human condition

The shortest thing that can be said here is bringing back the matter of free will. You cannot have free will without the possibility of sinning. God can create humans that only consume exactly what they need to survive, and erase the problem of gluttony. But such a people, though they might be happy on this world, would never be given choice - and that includes having a choice to accept God. Nor would they be able to reach God, being consigned forever to an imperfect but eternal existence. And this, in its own way, is no less cruel.

>if the after life has no sinning or dying then it has no humans in it

Yes and no. Yes, in the sense that the new body and new life granted in Heaven is not "human" as we conceive of it. No, in the sense that being in Heaven does not mean you stop being yourself. Of course, we're straying fairly deep into interpretation here, since the Bible doesn't strictly outline this, and this is a topic that various denominations argue about today (just as much as the nature, and even existence, of Hell).

>>422656

>I wouldn't talk this way about beowolf, why would I about the bible?

I... what? There's a reason that there are multiple translations of Beowulf floating around. And that's considering that Old English is closer to modern English than ancient Hebrew or Greek, and the text itself is relatively more contemporary. If you bother to look, you'll see that Beowulf has multiple interpretations by literary scholars. And for that matter, since we're talking about Christianity, our oldest copies of Beowulf were Christianized interpretations of the original pagan myth written by Christian monks. Drawing out the original pagan aspects, and seeing what was added by Christian writers, is itself an extremely complex work of interpretation.

If you'd like then we can cut off the conversation, though I'd feel remiss to not point out those things written above (if only for the sake of anyone else reading).

It's difficult, if not impossible, to talk about anything too niche on a board with so few posters. It's mostly just the same few regulars haunting the same threads; most of us are probably not motivated in branching out into anything else, especially if they believe there won't be any shared interest in it. I don't mean to complain and it isn't the fault of anyone here, it's just the way things work.

There's been something of a drop-off in anons recently; site-wide, not just on /tg/. I just wish I knew where everyone's going.

Heya, Chrow!

It's me again, direct questions guy. Now that we're halfway to August and GenCon, considering the various new releases (of note, Shadowrun 6e, Pathfinder 2, Cyberpunk RED's Quick Start Rules), I was wondering how we, as in the users of /tg/, should go about discussing these new dumpsterfires releases. Should we make a new thread for all GenCon releases (Let's read books, new editions edition? GenCon general?), use existing threads (both cyberpunk and shadowrun has one each), or should we just make new threads as each pdf/ scanned book comes online, and laugh at the idiocy?

We could do what /v/ does for big events ("big" being quite subjective) and have one pinned, constantly refreshing thread (I forgot what they were called). Or we can just stick to the usual format and just make one thread, and then make a new one once the first has hit max posts.

Personally, I can't wait to dig into the new source books, but for all the wrong reasons. Shadowrun 6e is shaping up to be a particularly fantastic dumpsterfire, and pathfinder 2 is making the prior edition look competent! Should be entertaining for a readthrough, at least.

Any thoughts, corvian boardowner?

>>423798

>Mostly Twitter.

>we

>our

Speak for yourself, faggot.

>>423815

I think most people on this board want to read the books for the same reason you do: because they'll be laughably bad. Normally I'd say each topic should be contained to its own thread so that threads don't become blurry and so that interested users can look into the older & better works, but I think that would clutter those threads with a lot of useless shitposting, which I imagine would be a headache for anyone who actually wants to discuss Shadowrun/Pathfinder/etc.

I know a few years ago five fucking years ago when D&D5E was still called D&D NEXT there was a single giant thread for the leaked books. I think this worked out well, since it kept the shitposting to a single containment thread. I believe our best course of action would be to have a GenCon shitposting general (not a cyclical like /v/ does; I doubt there will be more than two threads' worth of posts) with some links to the Shadowrun/Pathfinder/etc. threads in the OP so people know where to go if they want older, better editions.

>>423815

As much as it pains me to say, I don't think /tg/ is currently active enough to warrant a pinned, cyclical thread. In past years, some of you have attempted to have threads for GenCon, but I don't recall them being especially active. So the easiest solution, since you want my opinion, is probably to have a GenCon general thread to discuss releases, events, leaks, and so on, and then to eventually filter further discussion of the new editions of games into their own new threads or any relevant existing threads.

>>423863

>After realizing that most new threads come from one person, what's the fucking point?

That's not true at all. We have this conversation every few months and the only solution to encourage more activity and retain more users is to post quality things, instead of not posting and then crying that the board is too slow.

>>423878

It's home. Sometimes it feels like a fairly empty home, but it's home nevertheless.

What would probably help is if we could actually do things together. But that just keeps ending up a mess - for one, it's hard to schedule; for two, most of the people on here are privacy-oriented, which is good in principle, but fucking terrible for logistics. The game-finder thread's the biggest case of that, what with the Discord arguments just use burners you faggots. Of course, even if you do that, it's a massive catch-22: Start up an IRC/Discord/whatever, and you get faggots trying to post on there, unless everyone can agree to just use it for playing the games.

>>423872

How accurate would say the active ISPs right now? The front page is saying we're still hovering over 100 (per 3-day period), but it does feel like less on the ground floor (and like less than 100 posts, sometimes). But combining that with the number of "post once per month" types, it comes across the like there is a much larger body that's constantly lurking.

>>423877

>I'm ready to give up on image boards entirely at this point.

To do what? Talk with people in meat-space? Don't be ridiculous.

New Marcille for corner image?

>>423892

There's also a bit of bitterness directed at present state vs. current state, in terms of activity.

Remember, this site as it is today is built almost entirely on the concept of exodus. Outside of a small fragment, and the damn election influxes, most of the people here left from somewhere else. In the early large-scale cases, like in 2014, there were a lot of people that quite honestly thought people would split between here and 4chan, and that this place would keep growing in size. Of course, others were more cynical.

But the reality was that as with the original Exodus story, people constructed a golden calf. They didn't see the promised land, so instead of working to make one, they decided to go the easy way and stick with what was comfortable. They went back to the shit-holes they came from. I won't even play at holier-than-thou there - I've had to dig into 4chan's cesspit for specific generals, for lack of alternatives. But that's not enough for some people. For some, that constant stimulation of reading a constant stream of effortless posting is apparently too alluring to step away from.

I'd personally rather be optimistic, and hope that people might eventually start getting more active and involved, and thus get others active and involved, but it's not an easy battle. But at least we can try to stick through it.

You're gonna love it at first of course, everything is easy when you're young. but day by day you're a little older, a little less 'it' your gonna find it harder and harder to hide that power level of yours (and yes you have a power level if you post here). Your going to find that all of life's fruit taste as ash in your mouth as you realize that you're being subtly manipulated by all the sites you goto, the algorithms attempting to save your normie soul by slowly but surely leading you back to the path of normalcy. You're going to be disappointed more then a few times as something that you've wanted and waited for it and spent money on, things that you positively shilled for, were excited for and that you support turn to shit one by one as inevitably your goals, your enjoyment gets turned off. Oh no anon, we have to be inclusive of faggots.

And you'll think wouldn't it be nice to have a really slow site where you can post (or not) without a lot of expectations but you can still discuss the things you enjoy without all that, without names without promotion, without people trying to become mods to enforce their idea of correctness.Where the worst thing we have is autism and a fondness for smug anime girls instead of signals and tests and the willingness to destroy everything for a few more pph. So yeah anon, enjoy your graduation. Have a great life, I'm sure you have a lot to do (its great when you're young). Enjoy it.

>control the whole board

Not implying that's their goal, and have stated at least twice my speculation.

>There hasn't been a board wipe

See pic. Note the page numbers. I fell asleep during the raid, so I don't have screen caps of the flood, but it certainly did occur whether or not you believe it.

>>424184

If you're talking about the /intl/ raids, that happened years ago when we didn't have a BO. If you're talking about that dumb elf spam thing, that happened a few months ago and amounted to about 6 duplicate threads, which made a dumb global vol pull a rollback that just fucked up our images. If I somehow missed an incident where 99% of our threads disappeared and then reappeared, it seems like it was an outright error, because we've still got a full catalog and 15 pages of threads, meaning there was no board wipe, especially not one that can be attributed to one specific individual, because there's no fucking way to flood, slide, or disrupt the board in a way that deletes all the fucking threads.

Out of 15 pages, maybe one two pages worth of threads were bumped by random anons who didn't want to see their pet threads killed. Fairly certain >>307973 was one.

>>364841 did not make it.

>>420857

>we've still got a full catalog and 15 pages of threads

How many are old threads that were abandoned because it made sense to make new ones, like the manga, or mtg, or chess threads? How many are dead threads like the dungeon map thread?

Yes, we managed to restore 13 pages of threads from archive, from the rollback. Yes, a bunch of threads like old share threads or old politics threads were already replaced.

Yes, should download anything that remotely is worth it. Should make archives of threads if they need to be saved.

But that spam had actual consequences on this board.

>>424224

No man. I am a different anon.

>>424225

Yes. I have games to play.

And yes, the year old threads would have been washed away in a different community.

But you need to lurk another few years.

Those 13 pages of spam literally killed some of the few, unique gems of this board. Some gems were saved. And those gems would have been killed by time in any other image board.

You don't get to downplay the spam, and pretend you belong here.

>>424226

The spam and dead images was largely caused by 8chan's broken as fuck code. The duplicate thread error was rampant for months and a fuckup on the server end of things killed images on damned near every board. It sucks that we lost threads because of some dumb bullshit, but it's not like we lost some sacred treasure. Most threads that get bumped off the catalog end up in the official archive anyways, and others can be saved with archive.is and the wayback machine.

Point still stands: There wasn't a board wipe and that other faggot is beyond retarded for pushing this narrative that we were secretly raided and had all our threads deleted by some shadowy cabal of one autist who is pushing a narrative that only one person posts on /tg/ and it's some autist that's crossposting and trying to undermine several boards and sites. ( >>423877 >>423863 )

This whole fucking argument was stupid and pointless. Go post good shit and support the community instead of whining how everything is over and everyone needs to lurk more.

>others can be saved with archive.is

Said that in >>424220

>Go post good shit and support the community

That is a good note to end on. Have real life in the way today. Hope you and others follow the advice before I can.

That's about enough of this topic. It's going in circles and it amounts to nothing. There was a rollback. We lost some images and threads, but it didn't kill the board. We like holding onto our threads because we run slow and steady, but this is still an imageboard and all threads are impermanent by design. Archive the threads you like, save the images you want to keep, and post about the topics you want to talk about. That's all there is to it.

We've had this same discussion multiple times already, and the closest thing to a conspiracy to undermine /tg/ is this exact phenomenon where every month or so, someone hopping IPs every few minutes or someone whose entire post history consists of new shitposts in the meta-thread shows up to start another argument about meta shit.

>>424244

>or someone whose entire post history consists of new shitposts in the meta-thread shows up to start another argument about meta shit.

You surely are right in this minor matter, but it seems you are wrong in a bigger one.

Since the topic of Riot as a possible method of organizing games came up in the thread, I'll give a debrief of my fiddling around with it here.

In general it's close to Discord. The process of making a series of linked sub-chats is a little more involved, but I don't think that's a bad thing - Discord has a terrible habit of encouraging "communities" where you get all manner of #off-topic or other cancer channels. The UI being closer to Discord comes with the demerit that functionality is lower than IRC, but the upside that barrier to entry is much lower.

The main strike against it is what while Discord and IRC both have bots available for dice rolling, the widgets on Riot are strictly limited and mostly shit. The closest estimate I can find is using a widget to partition off an in-chat instance of a rolz.org dice room, and having everyone roll dice in that. But at that point you might as well just keep a second browser tab/window open, or just give up entirely and resort to trusting people to be honest with their dice rolls. Which shouldn't be an intense demand, but that's how life is. At the very least, it does have voice chat functionality.

The biggest "perk" is that, like Discord, you just need to post a link, rather than having to draft up a short explanation for newfags on how2irc. There's also some encryption options, which helps out. On the other hand, the biggest drawback is that it's in that murky territory - almost everyone has Discord, those who don't probably have IRC, some have both, and all of 10 people are using Riot.

So for anyone who was thinking about posting a game, but hasn't done it out of not wanting the main options, that is a possible option. You can probably even coax retards on Roll20 if you sell the game well enough. But as with all chat-based services, it's still a poor fit for anything beyond theater of the mind.

>>424258

>>424264

>>424380

It's really not hard to understand, unless you're being willfully retarded: Even with dynamic IPs, VPNs, etc, regulars of /tg/ will still post in other threads, continue conversations, start new threads, and so on. Shitposting faggots pretend they just happened to spend several days or even just one especially active period of several hours, only shitposting aggressively in between their dynamic IP changing normally.

This generation, I swear.

Chrow, the gencon general thread is now up and running. I'll be around to post and comment. I hope all the anons will join us August 1st.

Well /tg/ has won the attention hungry games and we're already getting shitty spam threads.

Maybe this is just the adventures of the Man who Just Started Paying Attention but I don't like this system because it leads to this kinds of bullshit to each board that gets picked. So here's hoping the damage isn't too bad.

>>424921

that takes me back....

>>425386

Most likely. There's always been someone who posts about how we've fallen off the top 10 boards, calls for more activity, then floods the board with low effort threads, with the occassional troll thread/reply.

>>425409

and now we got a guy trying to lure all 6 of us into discord. amazing disconentanon. what a service you've done us.

>>425566

speaking of fun times another burger land shooting and 4chin being down we should expect even more riftraft.

Winning the goddamned attention hungry games without knowing it, then getting blitzed by discord spam, cuckchan subhumans, qtards, and getting two shootings in less than a day. August is off to a wonderful start. I'll be keeping a constant eye on things and trying to be speedy about nuking the garbage getting thrown at our board. Don't waste your time replying to obvious spam, because there's no point in making a show of it.

As always, archive the threads you actually like and want to save, hide and ignore the trash that you don't care for, and stay angry. For what it's worth, I don't think there's any evidence to back up the hypothesis that one guy is trying to ruin /tg/, although whoever nominated /tg/ for the attention hungry games clearly didn't understand why we wouldn't want that or what a troublesome thing it has always been for every board that's ever won. Or they knew exactly what they were doing and it was an obnoxious prank. Either way, I can handle this shitstorm easily enough.

Well that's the one thing, at least we have an active BO whose willing to keep their yard clean.

Don't want to jinx anything as it is still summer, but it really hasn't been as bad as I first thought other than the discord spam. Here's hoping no real damage would be done by what is more or less a low intensity raid.

Considering all of the people who hate us? Without that in place, everyone will be tripping over themselves to do something to the site.

Anons will set up bunkers and there are alternatives; the fear is that what little community we have might scatter to the four winds.

>>425684

Well fuck that's genuinely upsetting. I just want to come here and enjoy storytimes on /co/, post about my favorite hobbies and laugh at off color humor that would get me blacklisted and fired if it were anywhere else.

>>425690

I don't know about other chans or bunkers or anything so I will leave that discussion to other anons, all I request is that if we have some form of consensus please add it to the sticky so people who do not frequent these threads can get informed as well. Maybe even put it in the header along with the sister board information?

Looks like Ron already got off his ass.

>>425690

08chan, as described in the images above, perhaps. Or what about /a/'s bunker type? Something along the lines of smugfat.guy would be neat and plenty servicable, I think.

Things are stable enough now that I can at least drop in and re-confirm that I do still retain ownership of /tg/ and have been running things over on the bunker, just in case there were any doubters or lingering doubt.

Until things are more certain, I'm advising staying with the bunker for at least a little longer. This place is usable for the first time in almost 4 months, but that's a problem too. We spent 4 months adjusting to another board, slowly rebuilding our numbers and threads over there. The threads here are all dead and many of them still scarred by the image glitch. It will take a lot of time and patience to rebuild here, if things remain stable for the foreseeable future, which they just might not.

For all those reasons and many others, I advise everyone lurking around here and even those just checking in to visit the bunker, go to the meta-thread I've pinned there, and share your opinions, ideas, and concerns.

>>425755

There are still memories here, and hopefully new friends.

Cant see /meta/ right now, so I will post here, for at least talking about this board in mind.

Im worried not everyone from before return here, and that no new blood will come here. Because when 8ch went down, bunkers were placed and all, but in the end the /v/, /tv/, /a/, and /tg/ boards were populated, but not by much, specially the last two boards. So will the anons from boards that werent the big one will come here?

And about new people. We gotta keep high standards & quality to be a good imageboard, and not to make this a shithole like 4cucks...but we gotta make new people go here too. 8ch wasnt an small place or even very obscure, it was somewhat mainstream, because it had a high number of users, and it wasnt unknown for many. So im worried now anons her go in the mentality this is some kind of secret club or the like, and if the old anons dont return here, and no new ones come, 8kun will not be populated enough to not be a complete slog of posting. There is quality on quantity, after all.

Besides, you forgot anons that old 8ch became what it was because of the big exodus from 4cucks, which although started on /v/ and /pol/, it became know on other boards too, so it wasnt just /v/ and /pol/acks who came there. And so 8kun news of launch arent some secret, but what if that its not enough for anons to return? What should be done then?

>>425759

>What if.

Not much use worrying about it. I know enough of us are dedicated to crossposting to keep the lifeline open for a bit, but I have to admit that smug is way comfier atm. I would find it amusing to close /tg/ with a sign saying 'game at Eternity, Come back after Forever' and maybe a link to the outer layer of the smug or sportschan or something.

>>425775

I'm happy this place is back, even in it's half functional state.

Things have been going pretty well, it's time to see if they actually pull off this Q boomer shit. So far it seems like ron has fucked up the reclamation process but people are posting which is the important thing.

>>425796

>I'm happy this place is back, even in it's half functional state.

Same. Cuckchan is completely unusable.

A very merry Christmas to you, /tg/, from /co/!

We had some strong disagreements on how heavily we should reference this year's troubles, so this time around we got two cards.

Merry Lichmas to you stragglers, doing your best to make something of this place, even after all the trouble we've faced. There's been little actual discussion about the future of our /tg/s, but I appreciate the few of you who are at least trying.

I want to ask the few of you that are here why you aren't making new threads? You're bumping a lot of old threads and responding to people who aren't around, but you're not doing anything new. It's more like you're just shuffling around threads for the sake of it.

Happy newyear 8kun/tg/.

This is the correct thing to do, drag the content over kicking and screaming and people can worry about where they end up later.

No kind of general agreement was reached, but the activity between this /tg/ and the bunker makes it pretty clear that no one really gives a fuck about this ramshackle shitshow. Given the recent drama between Jim and Mark, it's pretty clear that Jim doesn't actually care about this site, or at least, doesn't care about any board that isn't directly related to his Q faggotry.

For all those reasons, I'm officially calling it quits on 8kun. Would have been nice to go back to the good ol' days and return to business as usual, but that's not happening and this place isn't any better than it was when it launched. I'm going to take some time to tidy up and archive some threads I enjoyed, but after that I'm logging out and leaving this place to eventually be claimed. If you're one of the few anons still struggling to keep this place alive, I strongly suggest you abandon your unreciprocated feelings of loyalty to this shithole and just come join us on the bunker. There's no reason to stay here and you're only wasting your time tossing a few posts here every few days when anyone who might actually want to reply is on a different board and probably actively hates this place.

If you have some issue with /a/ and the meidos, the most I can do is tell you that they are uninvolved and entirely hands off with /tg/. There has been absolutely zero issue with our board and users coexisting with them and they have expressed no concerns or complaints about the way we function.

Hope to see you all in the bunker. Even if you don't care about /v/ or Mark, you're better off getting out of here and telling everyone else to do the same. Better to leave now than be forced to scramble and find where everyone else ended up like last year. If this gets /tg/ deleted or Jim gets fussy again and yanks the board without letting it go to claims naturally, then all the more reason to let this place rot.

>>426148

If you can find your way to the webring imageboards, you can find your way to the bunker from there. For reasons that may not be obvious, we're trying not to directly link or mention any sites by name. Sorry that you've arrived late and that you ended up back at this shithole, but we've had a particularly rough year.

Thanks pol cucks for killing 8chan

>>424172

Eh, I'm new to the thread, and even I can see that radicals with a bruised ego are using every trick in the book to go after the centers of culture. They probably don't understand what they're doing, but what their people tellthem to do is to go here, or places like this place, distract and dominate.

I've seen this used on everything from 4chan to discord, to porn sites.

Hell, the only reason I'm here is because of the CYOA discussions. And I just got here today.

And the reason why they do it is because we're legitimately having fun and doing good stuff for our community. If anyone sees how much fun we're having in this small community, and if the people who do shit are good and well. We'll grow.

But they can't have that, If we are better than anything produced on the major sites, people would leave those major sites for places like this, and that would take away ad revenue.

So fuck em, I'll sit back and have fun talking with ya'll.

>>426232

face it friend, /tg/ on 8chan is dead, and its best to move on. I venture back now and again but no discussion is here to be had, and the old days are gone- but new days can still be made
